but many americans worry it will turn out to be an enron-style financial scheme where wall street manipulators make giant profits while ratepayers, motorists and main street businesses pay greatly increased costs. environmentalists rightly worry about the assumed large scale use of international offsets, and they are not verifiable. others say that foreign offsets claimed by c.b.o. to reduce the price of allowances by 70%, but that's highly questionable. to me a particular scary future the tax and trade tax regime is that anyone can purchase emissions, permits or credits. there is nothing to stop a large government like china from investing heavily in co-2 emission permits instead of u.s. treasuries. the effective course would be that u.s. located industries could not buy those permits or they would have to pay a much higher price for the permits, thereby making our businesses even less competitive with foreign manufacturers like those in china. market manipulation by speculators are bad enough, driving up demand and prices by foreign competitors is -- be closed by saying that the right energy

when this company experienced enron there was outrage from coast to coast, people that were not informed about the material things that were happening and not happening within that company. because the shareholders were left in the dark. my concern is the lack of transparency to the shareholders and to the public at large, not only as investors but as investors -- as shareholders, if you will, being the taxpayers of this country. so the question i have, i want to follow up on mr. jordan's question, a little deeper into why you did not get a little agencies. for example, the s.e.c., why didn't you feel compelled to share information with them? >> first of all, we were working with the regulators that were involved in putting the financial assistance together. that was the effort. but the responsibility, it is not a treasury secretary's job to get between a compp -- company and the s.e.c., for instance. i've been around long enough to know these are critically important decisions, and that's the responsibility of a c.e.o. working with his general counsel and with the regulator. >> but you

so think about the enron debacle, worldcom, in the past, ivan boesky, these are all people who hired prison consultants. those are the big names. but anytime there are people who are rich who end up in jail, they absolutely don't know the rules of what prison is like. it is such a huge change for them, they want to know -- you know, what do you do? how do you survive in there. so they'll go out and hire these prison consultants, who often have been to prison themselves, but say they are reformed and can sort of help and tell you what's going on. "the times" of london reports that madoff has now hired a consultant because he got the maximum, because he got those 150 years, there's no hope that he's going to be in some kind of a low-security facility. he's going to be in with violent offenders, murders and rapists. prison consultants who say that madoff could even end up incarcerated with terrorists, could end up with in super max in colorado. what they say from talking to people who work in the prisons, is that probably they'll put him in solitary for a long time for his own safety. b

deatirivatives because they can protect against risk, they can lower costs, but as we saw with, i guess, enron, as a great example, they can take both dealers and investors down. and when that happens, i would like some assurance that the taxpayers are not going to ultimately be the ones who assume that risk. that's not what we ought to be about. last september, leading up to last september, a lot of people made investments. they wrote over the counter derivatives. they made billions of dollars. profits on the way up. but when things turned down, who was asked to come in and backstop them? who was asked to take the risk, to suffer the loss. it was the taxpayer. now i personally believe that we ought to allow corporations to continue to write customized derivatives and that, yes, the government can look at them, but i -- another thing that we ought to consider is the government the best party to judge risk? and i say no. i think the government has a very poor track record, regulators, of identifying risk. are we going to leave when we start having standardized trading of over-the-counter deriva
